Re: Show Off Your Newly Renovated Memorabilia Rooms

I always run into the dilemma of whether or not to buy/create nicer displays, purchase more memorabilia, or buy a larger house to display my items. I've actually cut back and sold a large portion of my autograph collection to focus on game used item.

Re: Show Off Your Newly Renovated Memorabilia Rooms

man, spectacular stuff guys! btw nefan, the "grogan" helmet you mentioned in another post might be brian dowling's helmet given the date code - and assuming the numbers, helmet model and team decal size is correct, haven't taken a close look. but at first blush it looks like a nice helmet/gamer, regardless of the facemask sitch (facemasks are never a red flag or big deal for me unless it's stated that it's original to the helmet - many vintage gamers come without facemasks and collectors often just add one, even if it's not the right model, because they think it completes the helmet)....

UGA016-

While our teams have quite the rivalry, I can honestly say that you have an amazing collection of UGA gamers. Do you collect only college items or do you follow your players into the pro's and collect that stuff as well?

Re: Show Off Your Newly Renovated Memorabilia Rooms

UT_Vols_Collector I prefer to collect UGA items only. I have owned a couple of NFL items before. I did have a Matthew Stafford Home Rookie Signed Gamer from 2009. If the right piece came up I might consider. I have found that the NFL items are alot easier to obtain versus the College Gamers. I have several friends that I keep in contact with in the UGA collectors realm. There's only a few REAL collectores. UGA-1 is one of them. Great Guy. Do you have any UT pieces. Would love to see some. Gonna be a good season this year in the SEC.

Hello UT and UGA, my fellow SEC comrades. Very nice stuff you have there Georgia. I have a room with all kinds of Bama stuff. I will try and take some pics. Right now I have the following Helmets that are Game Used: Ingram Freshmen Helmet, Julio Jones Junior Helmet, Rolando McClain Helmet, Javier Arenas helmet, and my newest addition....Trent Richardsons Helmet from last year and the A-Game a few weeks ago. I find the jerseys of the stars are much tougher to find. I have Arenas, Glen Coffee, Andre Smith, Antoine Caldwell gamers that show quite a bit of use but the big stars like Ingram and Julio are almost impossible to find. You are right about the college stuff being MUCH TOUGHER to collect than the NFL stuff. Can't wait until the season starts...I know Bama will have a few issues on offense but returning 10 of 11 starters on defense including 2 Senior Captains in Barron and Hightower can't hurt.

Forgot to include my best item... I have the boxed set of all 3 rings from one of the players on the Championship team. SEC Championship, BCS Championship, and the 3rd Ring that the players designed in the display box from Jostens.

That Julio looks pretty "pristine" but the Marcell looks sweet.

Re: Show Off Your Newly Renovated Memorabilia Rooms

UGA,

Right now the only college items used items I have are two senior bowl jerseys of Robert Ayers and Arron Sears. I would like to get more college items, but from what I can tell the athletic department does not let jerseys out at all and I have no contacts to try and obtain the items that do. There is a nice Montario Hardesty gamer on JO, but they want $2k for it. Hopefully once I'm done with college I will actually be able to afford items like that, but for now I'm focused on NFL stuff because it's all that I can afford on a college budget lol.

I am looking forward towards this season, but I am also quite nervous. We are going to have a high number of true freshman starters, but we've competed in the past few years with a lot of freshman so who knows what will happen. No matter what it will still be a another great season of SEC football!
